A few things to check/consider (starting with the easy
and obvious):
1.) Low right side tire pressure, front or rear
2.) Following the crown of the road (does it occur on flat
areas, eg: parking lots, or when driving on the left
(where safe)?
3) Brake drag (improbably, check by lifting car and spinning wheels)
4.) Shifted steel belts - does not show as "wear"
check by rotating front to rear, generally (front makes
,much more difference - thus unless BOTH tires on one
side have shifted belts, such rotation will lessen the
effect).
5.) Allignment. Uncommon for Q's to go out of allignment
without a memorable event. Not hard to check, either,
except that most dealers find the oil hard to check.
6.) Suspension bushing wear (mnentioned earlier). Possible,
but I hope not at <3,000 miles!
Good luck.
